BMO Capital analyst Andrew Strelzik lowered his price target on Starbucks to $60 and kept his Market Perform rating, saying the company's "valuation resiliency" appears to be "disconnected" from changes to the fundamentals. The analyst notes that in spite of trading at "multiyear high relative valuation metrics", Starbucks is facing slower growth and a less solid outlook for its China market. Strelzik adds that although there may not be a near term downside catalyst, the risk-reward on Starbucks appears to be tilted to the downside.
